Over the next few days I\u2019m going to go over potential contract extensions for 3 2019 draft picks who become eligible after the 2021 season is over, today we start with wide receiver Deebo Samuel.<\/p>\n
First up is division rival Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams, who signed a 4-year deal, worth $47.25 million, averaging $15.75 million a year, with $35.133 million guaranteed, $20.636 of which is fully guaranteed, and I should note that Kupp\u2019s deal includes voidable years.<\/p>\n
Next up is Cleveland Browns\u2019 Jarvis Landry, who signed a 5-year deal, worth $75.5 million, averaging $15.1 million a year, with $47 million guaranteed, $34 million of which is fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n
Lastly, we have Carolina Panthers\u2019 Robby Anderson, who signed a 2-year deal, worth $29.5 million, averaging $14.75 million a year, with $20.5 million guaranteed, all fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n
Now, only Landry\u2019s contract contained per game roster bonuses, while Landry & Kupp\u2019s deals have money guaranteed for injury, with a vesting date, similar to what the 49ers do, and Landry, & Anderson\u2019s deals have workout bonuses.<\/p>\n
All of the above 3 things are keys to what the 49ers do when signing a player to a long term contract, which is why, I think, Samuel\u2019s deal could be in the 5-year, $75 million deal, averaging $15 million a year, with around $35 million in guaranteed money, with somewhere in the $15 million range being fully guaranteed, with injury guarantees.<\/p>\n
As for the per game roster bonuses, & workout bonuses, I\u2019d expect somewhere in the $400,000 to $500,000 a year in per game roster bonuses, and $50,000 to $100,000 a year in workout bonuses.<\/p>\n
Now, I can see a deal for Samuel going as high as $15.75 million a year, similar to Kupp\u2019s deal.<\/p>\n
